Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / getting your facts straight

Please have no empathy for me.  I am content with where my life is at. I went through the program 11 years ago and I am fine today because of it.  I am not brainwashed!!!!  I am sorry that things happened to you guys while in the Straight program.  I am just trying to have my side of the story be told, just like you. I would think after 11 years it would have came out if something happened.  I no longer have anything to do with KHK because I have moved on with my life.  I just feel that I have to say what really goes on there since you think you know and because you have never had anything to do with KHK.  Personal experience with something is the best speaker about it.  You had experience with Straight and I have never told you that you are wrong about that.  I had experience with KHK so don't tell me I am wrong.

Give it up.  Your point is clear.  I don't agree with it but I hear what you are saying.  Focus your efforts somewhere else.  Your mission is obviously failing.  You try so hard to get programs shut down and it is not going to happen with Kids Helping Kids. It has been in operation since the early 80's and it continues to thrive. If they were doing illegal or unethical practices then they would have been shut down.  And they would not be certified by the state and other agencies.  Give it up, or continue to watse your time.  They will be around for a long time.

Nothing will make you happy.  Because you are unhappy with the way your life is and you are looking to blame someone or soemthing besides yourself you look towards programs that change people's lives for the positive.  Take some responsibility for how your life turned out.  I was not abused in any way and you cannot force me to believe that.

I have been involved with the program for many years.  I have never heard it being suggested to the parents to buy either of those books.  We have reccommend that parents read the AA book or Al-Anon book so they can better understand their child. We have never promoted Miller Netwon's ideas or philosophies.  I do not work at the program any longer but still keep in touch with it.

Again, you need to get your facts straight.  The parents who started KHK were straight parents.  They no longer have anything to do with the program.  I really wish you would check your information before you talk.  I refuse to argue with your points anymore.  All I know is that I went through the program and I was not abused.  It is impossible for you to tell me that I was.  That may be your perception.  I find it real hard to even listen to you because you do not have first hand experience with the program.

Were you in the Kids Helping Kids program?  If not then you have no room to talk about what the staff does!!! Because I learned how to follow rules I am successful today.   You have no clue.  One other question.  If the program is doing illegal things then why has it not been shut down?  You people seem to have so much time on your hands why have you not been able to get anything accomplished with having it shut down?  New kids enter treatment there every week.  It is still successful and will continue to be. When you get the statistics on how many young people die from drug use we'll talk then.  If you do not have first hand experience with the program I am not interested in what you have to say.  It is frivolous to me.

How arrogant to assume that your history is the same as mine!!!!  You know nothing about me or my past history with drugs and alcohol. Do people not die from drug and alochol addictions every day? If it were easy to just put drugs down then why don't people do it?  Sounds like if they cannot help themselves then someone nedds to help them.  We may differ on that opinion.  I do know that I was not abused or tormented while in treatment at Kids Helping Kids.

I read a response from someone who chose to be anonymous.  Your response was to Reality check.  I graduated from the Kids Helping Kids program 11 years ago.  I believe it was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I was an out of control kid who did not care what happened to myself.  I was unable at that point in time to love or care about myself.  I was obsessed with drugs and alcohol because that is what took the pain away.  I thank God that my parents loved me enough to place me there.  When I could not love myself I had a whole group of people that loved me.  Eleven years later I am a happy, productive member of society.  I did not need intense psychotherapy in order to heal from the ordeal.  I never want to forget my time spent there.  I am now married, have a home and am getting to ready to have children.  I am a successful graduate from college with a good career.  Maybe if some people's life did not turn out so well they should take a look in the mirror as to why. Whatever measures took place at Kids Helping Kids I believe that I needed them.  Nothing else was working at that point.  So please don't assume your experience was the same as mine.
